What Kind of Photos or Videos Work Best in a Facebook Photo Contest?
Unboxings, product selfies, and before/after visuals work best in Facebook photo contests. Tap to explore how to structure and promote a high-performing Facebook photo contest.
The best-performing entries in Facebook photo or video contests are simple, visual, and brand-aligned. Product selfies, fan art, unboxing videos, or transformation-style before/after photos consistently get higher participation and engagement.
With Gleam, you can launch a fully hosted contest using the Facebook Photo Contest Template. You can let users upload content directly, then moderate or display entries in a public gallery for voting or sharing.
These contests not only engage your audience — they also generate UGC (user-generated content) you can reuse in future campaigns, testimonials, or ads.
